Paychex names new senior vice president of service

The Penfield-based company said Thursday that John Gibson will be appointed to the position and become an officer of the company. Gibson had served as president and CEO of AlphaStaff Group Inc., a nationwide provider of human resources outsourcing to small and midsize companies, until February 2012.

He also served as president of the HR management division of Convergys Corp., a $2 billion global company working in technology, outsourcing and business services.

“John brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to client service,” said Martin Mucci, Paychex president and CEO. “We are excited to have him join the Paychex team as we continue to expand our business, and our technology and service offerings for our clients.

“John will have responsibility for leading our dedicated service organization and the total service relationships with clients across the company.”

Gibson will oversee the company’s field operations and centralized product operations along with SurePayroll, the service-as-a-software online payroll provider Paychex acquired in 2010.
